Take this drink on the go in a thermos, or let its sweet, spiced scent fill your home. Applejack is a cider-based brandy; Calvados, the French version, would also work in this drink. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter |
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar |
10 black peppercorns |
8 whole allspice berries |
5 whole cloves |
2 (3-inch) cinnamon sticks |
6 cups apple cider |
1 tablespoon honey |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 (2-inch) orange rind strips |
2 (2-inch) lemon rind strips |
3/4 cup applejack brandy |
Directions:
1. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in sugar and next 4 ingredients (through cinnamon sticks); cook 1 minute. Add cider and next 4 ingredients (through lemon rind); bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 15 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in applejack. Strain; discard solids.
